Subject: [DSII] hover bikes

On a lark - to see what they were like and expand my armored brigade's
scout
force - I picked up a set of the GZG hover bikes. Now that I have them,
and am getting ready to paint them, I realize that I am just not sure what to
do with them. I was thinking of making them a size 1, 0 armor, Fast GEV, and
arty observer. I can get a Class 2 fixed RFAC on them, but I am not sure if
that makes sense.

Anyone else done anything with the bikes?

I price 'em as size 1 Grav vehicles with no armor, but then again I use 'em in
pairs as recon elements (well, 2 bikes and a grav jeep). If you used them as
mounted infantry, you could use Brian Bell's mechanized infantry pointing, or
maybe Steve Gibson's advanced infantry point cost system (which I don't recall
where it is).

Thanks, I thought I'd seen something once, but couldn't remember where.

These look like they address what I was going for pretty much perfectly.

Thanks.

IIRC, they're on Andy Cowell's page.
